Yo fellow G-Spotters. Let me start by saying that this is a late blog. I got my new PS3 a week ago and I've been playing it like a fool ;)

Anyway, I really am loving my PS3. Right off the bat I got Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Resident Evil 5. Now, I actually haven't played too much of RE5. Why, you ask? The answer is simple: Uncharted is one of the best games I've ever played. I've clocked in roughly 25 hours into it and I only have one more trophy to go until I get the Platinum (yes, I've played it THAT much in seven days). Uncharted has become one of my all time very favorite videogames, probably up in the top 5 or 10 on my list. I love it. My anticipation for Uncharted 2 has gone through the roof.

On a side note, while I know it happened a few days ago, I was very saddened by the death of Michael Jackson :( He's one of my all time favorite music artists and it was a sad day for me last week. While I know how weird he was in his last few years of life, I still want him to rest in peace because he really was a great person at heart. Thriller lives on forever!

Superzone out.

5. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (Wii)

This game simply looks scary as piss. Unlike most horror games that give you weapons, and therefore something to defend yourself with, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories gives you nothing but a flashlight, forcing you to run and hide from the horrors you will find in Silent Hill. The total sense of helplessness is what is going to make SM so freakin' good, and the fantastic Wii graphics, specifically the lighting effects, don't hurt either.

4. New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Wii)

The best platformer on the DS is getting a Wii sequel with four player multiplayer co-op? I'm in. New Super Mario Bros. Wii promises all the fun of the DS game with added multiplayer awesomeness. The fact that it's the first Mario sidescroller since the mid-90s also makes it hugely appealing.

3. Scribblenauts (DS)

The most innovative DS game to date? It looks like it, and that isn't an easy title to take on a system that oozes creativity left and right. Scribblenauts basically allows you to write any word you can think of and the game will make that thing appear on screen. To solve the puzzles in the game you must rely on your own creative abilities, and you can come up with the most wacky crap in the world. Need to get over a wall? Try a diving board. Need to get a beached whale back in the ocean? Use a bulldozer. Need to defeat an enemy? Try giving God a call, he'll come help you.

2. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (PS3)

Nathan Drake is back in what looks to be one of the most beautiful and action packed videogames ever. Expanding on what made the first game so great, Among Thieves takes you to the streets fighting mercenaries, scaling buildings, and running from a helicopter trying to kill you. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves garnered critical acclaim from basically everyone who attended E3 this year and it promises to be one of the best games of 2009.

1. Metroid: Other M (Wii)

I'm not kidding when I say this: I just about s*** bricks when Nintendo showed the trailer for Metroid: Other M at the end of their conference. It was so unexpected, and was easily the most exciting Nintendo conference moment since Miyamoto walked on stage to announce Twilight Princess at E3 2004. As if the Metroid name wasn't good enough, the fact that Team Ninja is developing it makes it even more exciting. It's going to be a fresh take on the Metroid saga with more storytelling than ever before, and the graphics might just be the best on Wii so far. Absolutely the most mind blowing game for me at E3 this year, and it wasn't even playable.

I watched the Sony and Nintendo conferences live on Gamespot last week (I watched Microsoft on G4 the day before)and I still don't have my emblems! What gives?

Check it out up above, it's my new blog image!

Anyway, as many of you probably know, Mr. Miyamoto held a private roundtable during E3 and discuss various things, including Link's next adventure on the Wii. He revealed one lone image for the game, but the public was not allowed to see it... until today!

WOO!!! I'm too excited to write anymore!!!!

Nintendo:

A LOT of hardore game announcements and demonstrations. I swear to God if they pull the crap they did last year at E3 I will chuck my Wii out of my two story window and take a video of it to send to them.

New console Zelda (looking at the history of Zelda games, this announcement has a good chance of happening tomorrow)

New Metroid (the long awaited Metroid Dread, anyone?)

Pikmin 3

New Star Fox

New F-Zero

And hopefully more.

Sony:

PS3 PRICE DROP PLEASE!!!
Uncharted 2 gameplay
MGS4: Subsistence

Well, that's about all from Sony that I want. I don't own a PS3 yet, so I can't think of much, but they should have a great show.

This is was a big, big decision for me. I have been an exclusive Nintendo owner my whole life.

The reason I have decided to get a PS3 is because the Wii has proved less than stellar the past year or so. Seriously, there hasn't been one single game released since SSBB in March of 2008 that has interested me enough for a purchase. Nintendo's sick minded casual plan has gone long enough, I'm sick and tired of this gimmicky nonsense.

Now I love my Wii and all my games for it (Twilight Princess, Galaxy, Metroid Prime 3, SSBB, Mario Kart, and a few more, as well as my downloaded games), but I haven't purchase EVEN ONE game since Brawl which came out FOURTEEN MONTHS AGO.

I want a PS3 for games like GTAIV, RE5, MGS4, and the recently released in FAMOUS.

Now, I'm not going to abandon my Wii or anything. I still play all the great games I own and I love them all. But until Nintendo starts showing some love for it's loyal fans, I'm going to be exclusively buying PS3 games.

Go see it. Now.

I just went to the movie tonight, and I can safely say that Star Trek is the most amazing experience I've had at the movie theater in a long, long time. The casting is perfect and the visuals are just mesmerizing. You don't need to be a fan of Star Trek to enjoy it either. Do yourself a favor and check it out this weekend.

After the game has been out for six years, I've managed to beat The Wind Waker. I've only had the game for about a year, and I'm glad I decided to finally play through it and beat it. In the end of it all, I found Wind Waker to be one of the best in the series.

Part 2 of the battle is up!
